| | Question on oven smoking?
Ok I was in a store the other day picking up one of those choppers that Billy May's was pitching before he past away,
and I was in the grilling section of the store when my eye spotted a possible smoking solution for the winter time blues!
On a side note that chopper that Billy pitched actually works just as he said it does, And it makes quick work for mincing.
Anyways this smoker solution is a cast iron box about the size of a shoe box maybe a little smaller,
Anyway you can add it to a propane grill, gas grill, and I was wondering why I couldn't use it in the oven, or would it smoke too much in a confined space?
By the way I know that winter isn't here yet!

Stove top smokers have been around for a while. There are cast iron and steel ones.
The lid fits tightly so there isn't a lot of smoke due to the restricted air flow. However, you need good ventilation to the outside to keep the fire department from chopping down your door.

I've tried to smoke my oven, it's too heavy to keep lit.

Chili Chef is already ignoring all my posts as fluff. You will miss the gold amongst the coal if you do that.

I've had a stainless steel stovetop smoker for years and love it. I've smoked everything from meats, poultry and fish to veggies and cheeses. It's a great tool.

I have to add that, when I use the stovetop smoker, the food is first smoked on top of the stove and finished in the oven. Just wanted to clarify this point.

I just fire up the smoker outside. I really don't care what the temperature is. Fire might need a bit more attention during the winter than during the summer, but, if anything, the cold air actually helps you regulate temperature in the smoker better, preventing hotspots...
